Ride I am not that old. Ebram and I usually have different opinions, but this time I agree with ebram 100% (shocker).
I am rarelly in the room during the daylight hours. I get up and go somewhere and do something every day I am on vacation (SIGHTSEEING, SWIMMING, HIKING, THEME PARKS, ETC), but if I am going to the beach I want an oceanfront room.
I don't want to have a glimpse of the ocean between buildings, a short walk to the beach, or a parking lot view on the other side of the resort from the ocean. I want oceanfront or I don't want to go to the beach. I will take a hospitality rated ocean front room every time over a gold crown room without an ocean view.
When I wake up in the morning I want to see the ocean as I eat breakfast and drink my coffee. At night I want to have my night caps on the balcony looking at the ocean and listening to the waves. My blood pressure drops quickly as I listen to the waves from my balcony. For me a beach week is not prime if it is not oceanfront. JMHO.
ah see that's the difference, i don't consider this a beach week, yes, if i wanted to stay at the beach this place would be less then ideal, sure it's close to the beach, but its not a beach vacation...but if i'm looking for a place to vacation...i'm not looking for a place that offers only a beach, that's boring as hell, i like things to do, even if i did want to vacation on the beach, i wouldn't do it in the middle of the summer in SC, i'd do a winter Hawaii, winter Caribbean, or even winter southern Florida trip....IMO, to me, even places like smugglers notch or Massanutten are prime during the summer, the amount of activities they have give me the ability to keep busy and have family fun
I think alot of people think this way, if your traveling from week 26-34, your doing it because of school breaks...you want to go to a place that is fun for the whole family, the kids won't have fun lounging on the beach with nothing else to do, they want activities
